I just want to make a big ole bowl of this and swim around in it. :-) I had never made un canned, un store bought frosting. I used this as a crumb coating on a cake I'll be putting fondant on later. I was dipping bananas into the bowl before it was all over. YUM YUM YUM

Like a previous reviewer, I substituted the cocoa powder with melted chocolate. This frosting hardens quickly, so if you want to add sprinkles, shake them on right away.

Very good! Put it on banana cake, and that taste was amazing! Best chocolate icing ever!

Loved it! I did melt an oz of baking chocolate, increased milk a touch for spreadibility and threw in some extra cocoa powder. I licked my food processor clean! Well, except for the blade, but i did use my finger on that. Frosting held up nicely and was great the next day.

Very yummy!! Like another reviewer, I used flavored coffee creamer (almond/vanilla). Thanks!!

I followed the recipe exactly, but felt like the frosting tunred out not well for me. The consistency was too goopey, and the flavor was not something I would waste calories on!

Very easy frosting to make and tastes very good. Its a must try for anyone. : )

I just wanted a good chocolate frosting recipe to pair with some graham crackers, a fun treat. This was an easy, very yummy frosting. For the sweet tooths out there, this is perfect. For those of you who don't like things that are very sweet, I would recommend finding a different recipe. The powdered sugar and butter shine in this recipe to create something rich. This frosting seems so versitle (sp?). I hope to make this again! I really liked this recipe. Oh, and the other great thing about it was that I didn't need to pull out my mixing machine to deal with this. I only made 3 servings and I just used a fork. This was a very easy, quick, and yummy recipe!

I doubled this recipe for frosting a 9" 2-layer cake. Amount of frosting was perfect for the cake. I added a little more milk for ease of spreading, but icing held up well. I loved the way it hardened ever so slightly - it will be perfect frosting for cupcakes or cookies (gooey frosting on cupcakes just won't work for me!)

Butter cream isnt quite my taste, but I made it for my step dad and he deemed it "good" which is high praise from him indeed. Pretty easy to work with.

Easy to make. Flavor was a little light. I added a little extra milk, which made it creamier. It stayed creamy even after several hours.

I was just searching for a good cookie frosting and thank god I came across this! My boyfriend( who loves buttercream frosting) went crazy over this!

Great starting point, but not chocolaty enough. I ended up adding ~1 more tbs cocoa powder and melted down some dark chocolate with milk and added that to get a better chocolate flavor. Great for cakes, spreads nicely.

I used this on the Dark Chocolate Cake I recipe from this site. The frosting was very good! The only thing was that I think it needed a bit more milk to start with (maybe 1/2 tbsp more) because it started drying as I was icing the cake. I know it says to add more milk as needed, but I think initially if you start with a bit more milk and add more from that it would be more spreadable. A very tasty frosting though and I will definitely be using it again! Thanks!

really easy to make, and quite tasty. i also used melted chocolate instead of powder and had no problems with the results..thanks will definitely be using this in the future!

Easy to make with items in my pantry, not too sweet or rich but light and fluffy. I love it. My daughter requested it as frosting on her birthday cake!
